Bill for More Protection: Monument Expansion and NRA

Great news: Congresswoman Judy Chu introduced the San Gabriel Mountains Foothills and Rivers Protection Act today in Washington, D.C. This bill, supported by Rep. Grace F. Napolitano, Congressman Adam Schiff, Rep. Linda Sánchez, and U.S. Rep. Tony Cárdenas, will expand the existing National Monument and create a new National Recreation Area to enhance conservation, increase access for all communities by connecting park poor areas to open space, and improve the management of the area through improved resources, education, and public engagement. It’s good for Angelenos and also and visitors to the region, and it helps protect for our water supply and wildlife habitat.
